Summary:

This volume is based on visits made to the Soviet Union by a number of American psychologists in the summer of 1960. The intended merits of these visits were dual. By having a considerable group of well-known American psychologists visit Soviet psychologists as individuals under the auspices of our professional association, it was hoped to improve communications further between psychologists of the two countries. In addition, and perhaps more directly to the point, a number of competent psychologists varying in their fields of interest would be in a position to report back to their American colleagues on the full range of work being done by our Soviet colleagues. The intent of these visits was to open up communication between American and Soviet psychology. This entire volume has been conceived in the same spirit.
